I think this is related to btrfs CoW and extent booking.
One simple example would be:
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 128k" -c "sync" -c "pwrite 0 64K" \
/mnt/btrfs/file1
The result "/mnt/btrfs/file1" will only be sized 128K in du, but it
on-disk usage is 128K + 64K.
The first 128K is the data written by the first "pwrite" command, it
caused a full 128K extent on disk.
Then the 2nd pwrite command also created a new 64K extent, which is the
default data CoW behavior.
The first half of the original 128K extent is not used by anyone, but it
still takes space.
Above btrfs extent booking behavior could cause a lot of wasted space
even there is only one single subvolume without any snapshot.
In that case, instead of balance, defrag should be your friend to free
up some space.
Thanks,
